Botox
Are you bothered by frown lines and crows feet that just won’t disappear despite detailed skin care regimens and makeup routines? If so, Botox might be just the thing for you! Botox utilizes a powerful protein called derived from the Clostridium Botulinum microbe to relax the muscles of facial expression, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. In this procedure, board-certified Tampa plastic surgeon, Dr. Traci Temmen, gives precisely targeted Botox injections exactly where you need them to relax the troublesome muscles that create wrinkles and creases, restoring your face to its smooth, youthful appearance.
At Temmen Plastic Surgery in Tampa Botox is so quick and easy, it can be often be performed over a lunch break – allowing you to get back to living your life right away. Furthermore, it is typically very well-tolerated by patients, with minimal pain or swelling at the injection site. Most patients will be able to see the results of Botox treatment within 3-5 days following injection, with results typically lasting for 4-6 months.
At the end of this period, the injection effects will wear off as the facial muscles return to their former state. Since the effects of Botox are temporary, many patients like to schedule regular “maintenance” visits throughout the year, much like an appointment for a cut and color at the hair salon.
